Today I wanted to make some contacts on 432 and 1296Mhz.
I found out that I could hear only 2 stations on both bands on my TS2000x. The s meter did not react at all. When I moved to FM meter was moving and it seemed that there was more activity in the radio hi. I resetted the radio and tried several things but after some time I decided to try another radio. Immediately I heard a lot of stations. So I can conclude TS2000 is broken….
I made a new beverage box to house the Dx Engineering RBS-LFP 2 way switching box. Although this box can do without extra enclosure I prefer to double box it.
Worked 7P8EME 144Mhz moonbounce for dxcc #105

During the contest last weekend the second lcd screen would not work. After some testing it is most likely the that the second port of the video card has died. I had another one, mounted it and voila.
